macOS Shortcuts: Capture Text From Your Screen
Вставка

- ‼️ NOTE: Seems like there is a bug in macOS 14.5 and the screenshot capture Shortcuts action isn't working anymore. Until Apple fixes it, I have posted a temporary fix in a Patreon video (but I have made it available to everyone, not just supporters): / 105248702
macmost.com/e-2576 You can create a Shortcut that will allow you to capture a portion of your screen, and then the text from that image will be extracted and placed in the clipboard. This is useful where you can't normally select and copy text from websites and apps.

Glad to know it isn't just me. I used this shortcut all the time. Just reported it to Apple. Thanks Gary!
Thanks for letting us know. Saved a bunch of time trying to solve the unsolvable. 👍
It seems like taking screen shots is indeed no longer working via shortcuts, but I've created a workaround, but unfortunately I can't drop a screenshot here :/
Hi Gary, I used it 1000 times a day. Desperate. Any workaround? thanks in advance...
@@jacintopc Yes. It seems to work if you replace the Interactive Screenshot action with a Run Shell Script action using the script "screencapture -ci" inside it. Then in the Extract Text From action, use "Clipboard" as the parameter. I may do a video on this. Credit to: github.com/e-kotov/macos-shortcuts
I think soon when you click on any Help Menu on a MAC, Gary will pop up and provide you with assistance! Thanks so much !! I have been watching every week since I picked up my M1
Yes, I can remember when I use to own a PC there was a “Clip” I think he was called Clippy. Now I have a Mac. I could imagine having Gary as a sort of Clippy. He would be there helping me by giving me advice and telling me if I’m not doing something right. Then show me the right way. 🤣
@@yeldaRooBTKAM My thoughts exactly !!
You are an ANGEL. I'm a grad student and have to copy-paste from PDFs all the time. You must know the frustrations involved in trying to convert PDFs to text. THANK YOU.
Wow this is one the most useful Mac videos I've ever seen
I've seen so many "worthless" shortcuts but this is one is EXCELLENT and I will use again and again. Thank you so much.
Thank you Gary for updating the shortcut and giving us access to the patreon video. Love that shortcut!
You have no idea how useful is this for me. I'm going to save a lot of time from now on. Thank you! 💜
Mindblowing. Thank you! I love how, in an image that's being captured, even text on its side or upside down is captured and transformed into text. So useful in so many ways!
This is exactly the shortcut I needed, and since I have never used shortcuts before I set it up exactly as you demonstrated. Having that as an icon on my menu bar is great, and now it is all set to selective screen capture and export to the clipboard. THANK YOU GARY!
Gary, this was a really useful Shortcut. The first one that I've incorporated into my daily use. The video on how to create the Shortcut has made me want to learn more about Shortcut applications and learning to build additional ones. Thank you! Hope you will share some more.
Thank you so much for walking us through this. I often reference technical manuals in Kindle and this is an easier method of grabbing a few lines on the go. Thank you so much for a quiet, non-flashy yet incredibly useful tutorial.
You have taught me more about Mac functionality in the past 3 weeks than I ever could have learned on my own. What a great shortcut use. I am constantly getting docs where I need to copy odd sections of text to copy. This will come in handy quite a bit!
Can’t think of the number of times I’ve gotten a MacOS alert that I then wanted to do a search to get more information. This shortcut is going on my Mac soon!
WOW! Gary you're a Mac treasure! I did exactly as your guidance and this shortcut can now save tons of hassle and time with my never-ending pdf docs I need to process for writing my reports! Absolutely amazing!
I created 25 files with long filenames in a folder. I wanted to make a record of the filenames for later reference. Using this shortcut - my first ever - I was able to view the files in List mode, run the shortcut, and paste the list of filenames perfectly into Numbers. So awesome! Thanks a billion!
So helpful with a list of folders and images in Finder and so much more! As many commenters have said, one of the first really useful shortcuts I could use because there really is not a long cut for it. Thank you again!
Gary, you are the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you so much for all your helpful videos - much appreciated!
So helpful Gary. Not only is it an exceptionally useful shortcut it help me in learning how to design my own shortcuts. Thank you!
A very useful video tutorial today! Thanks for showing us how. Thank you, Gary! 👏👍🏻❤️
Thanks Gary for one of the most useful Mac tips for me. Just a note about using this to capture the text of a typewritten letter. I tried to capture the entire body of the letter in one shot. The resultant text in the clipboard was broken up into many more lines than the original. Also some of the lines were out of order.
Thanks for all your effort in producing this impressive collection of instructive videos. I've posted a recommendation of your UA-cam videos on a chat room. I hope you get a few more subscribers from that.
Thanks Gary! Watched this last night on my iPad and just set it up on my MBP. Excellent info as always.
Gary, I have been really enjoying your channel! Even as a Mac Power-user still find all the videos and screen captures ver useful especially for new features. Keep up the great work!
Marvelous! This can work for selecting the list of registered participants of a Zoom meeting and putting that list in a Numbers file or other document without all the other cells that show up in the Zoom report.
Thank you sooo much! What a great trick. Excited to watch your other videos
As a software dev I copy quite a lot of things, and was about using an open source screen capture to build a tool but this saved me so much time, thanks!!!
Thanks Gary for your relentless effort to benefit us 👍
Thank you for this incredibly useful shortcut walkthrough!
Bro I love you for this. Thank you so much!!
One of the most useful tool that I've ever seen. Thank you again Gary.

Thanks for this! I was actually wondering if I would ever have a need to use that feature, but you have definitely reminded me that there are times I would like to get text from an image.
Brilliant video. Thanks!
My love for macOS just increased!!
Awesome video 😀

I was using Automater App but now this tutorial and the previous one about Shortcuts convinced me that it’s time to move. Well done and thanks.

Wow! Another awesome tip! Really valuable!! Thank you!
This is an incredibly useful shortcut! Thanks!
I've been using Mac since 2008 along with Linux and I admit, this is very useful tip here. I'm 47 and back nursing school for a 2nd career; this is golden for me. Thanks!
OMG! Thank you this video has inspired me to actually learn more about Shortcuts to automate things on my Mac/iPhone.
Thanks a lot! very useful
You just saved my while life! Greatest tip of Mac so far!! Thank's million!
This is excellent. Thank you.
This single tip literally got me to install Monterey last night. Awesome! Thank you!

Amazing!

Amazing. I’ve really got to try this as I was having exactly the same issue being unable to copy text this morning.
Man thanks for doing this
Wow, thanks Gary you are a lifesaver!
True Power, I had just bought an app for that 🙆. Amazing demonstration of Shortcuts.
Thanks a lot Gary! This is very interesting. Although my Mac is getting a bit old to run Monterey, I could be convinced to take the leap after watchig your video. I guess I will start by installing it on an external SSD and see how it goes.
I just did it right after watching this video. Gary’s approach to explaining the Mac world is just moving me away more and more to it from my 25 years of real Windows pro experience.
I learned so much from you, thank you and keep up the good work 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Dude, this is frikken awesome.
Thank you!
WOW! Excellent, thank You very much. I used to install some github tool, python, brew etc. to achieve tihs funcionality, but this is SO much easier and straightforward. Once again ... WOW!

Hey, Gary! Thank you for sharing this content! I have learned a lot from you and your videos, especially with your didactic format!
Specifically this time I'm having problems with the shortcuts... it apparently takes the screen shots but it doesn't load the results... and well, I'm not able to get out of step one. Would you help me?
thank you so much man🚀
When I asked Siri how to capture text from the screen, yours was the first video that was linked. Super helpful, and easy to understand. Thanks!
Excellent!
Oh boy, can I use THIS trick! Thanks Gary!
